Dear Maintainer,

When using bind mounts, df may have to choose only one of many equivalent
mounts:

$ mount
/dev/sdb1 on /export/real type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb1 on /home/aaaa type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb1 on /home/bbbb type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)
/dev/sdb1 on /home/dddd type ext4 (rw,relatime,data=ordered)

$ df -l
/dev/sdb1      1921677460 1094613156 729425740  61% /home/bbbb

but it really should report
$ df -l
/dev/sdb1      1921677460 1094613156 729425740  61% /export/real

That said, I am unsure how it should know which one is the "real mount"
